Yeah me too. I was really looking forward to seeing more Kirby characters on the big screen. At least we have The Eternals which will hopefully be decent (odd leaks withstanding).

I'm still trucking along in my Invincible re-read. Finished Ultimate Collection Vol.4 today. 👍
It still holds up outside of the outdated uses of "retarded" and "gay." But those words really only fell out of use in the last five years or so.

Shonen Jump subscription is a thing that exists?
*googles*
Oh, thanks for nothing then. :(
Was legitimately shocked that it's $1.99 a month. 👀
Yes, and it's pretty great. Trust me, I'm a long time manga expert who has now read *checks notes* half of One Punch Man.
What? Are you saying Wikipedia lied to me?!?
I fell for it.
So weird. I stopped using those words in 6th grade because I realized how awful they were, but I still heard them from other people throughout high school.
So excited.
You know he will, too. His run is just a wealth of Thor lore. He just loves Thor.
Shut the fuck up Jimmy
Yost posted a summary of season 3 last year on Twitter. Regardless, they wouldn't do another season. With their Disney+ MCU synergy there's no way. It's considered a "legacy" show.

Yeah, it's not like there's a lot of it. But it's still there. The issues I'm into now were probably released in 2008 / 2009. It was a bit more prevalent in the earlier issues.
"Remember the two things people liked me for? Imagine if I still did those things?"
I still hear the r word at least a few times a year. As a parent of a kid with autism, I don't put up with that shit. Among all the stupid shit with the whole GME Reddit movement, the worst was the free use of that word. Fuck all those losers.
I don't hear gay any more other than a person referencing their orientation.
I can't imagine they had anywhere near enough staff to deal with the increase in online orders during lockdown AND the uptick in the volume of merchandise.
I also hear "retard" more than "gay" nowadays. I cringe hearing it, but I hear customers say it sometimes where I work. Very weird that there are still people out there saying it, even if it's at least way less common than it used to be.
I don't really begrudge people their ignorant past, since it was unfortunately a part of common slang years ago, but I can't respect anybody still saying it.
And then he actually turned out to be gay , and that's pretty much all the characterisation he gotYeah, it's not like there's a lot of it. But it's still there. The issues I'm into now were probably released in 2008 / 2009. It was a bit more prevalent in the earlier issues.
Same. It's not great. That's also a word that seems to be far more difficult to get across as to why it's not okay, for some reason.
Both words have definitely fallen out of use to the extent that when I do hear someone use it, it makes me raise an eyebrow.
My coworkers and I heard a bunch of highschoolers passing through calling each other gay and as they left we looked at each other and went "what the fuck is this 2004? Who still uses 'gay' like that anymore?" Like early 00's slang coming back in a very bad way.
It never went away man. The younger gens still use that language. It's not as acceptable to do so openly as it was once upon a time, but it's never stopped being used. My brother is gay and out of the closet and he still will have to frequently check some of his classmates on throwing the f-slur around.
Ava DuVernay's 'New Gods,' James Wan's 'The Trench' DC Movies Not Moving Forward at Warner Bros. News
Ava's got lots of other projects lined up, including a CW DC show, so I'm guessing it's more of a time commitment thing. James is still doing Aquaman 2 later this year.www.resetera.com
Wasnt Tom King on that New Gods movie lol?
I totally get cancelling the Trench. But the New Gods could have been amazing. Much cooler than the Eternals lol. Its just so unique to DC.
What's lol worthy? That plain sucks.
Hopefully they can turn the script into a comic.

Maybe Snyder getting to depict the bad guys muddied the waters.
Yeah, I've actually told two of my troops to knock that out. They kinda look at you to see if you're being serious. I think people feel more comfortable using it because people with intellectual disabilities or who are neuroatypical are less likely to call them out on that bullshit. My son is verbal but I don't think he'd understand the term or the full cues of what's going on if people were calling him that.
I also recognize that I used some truly awful language in middle school and high school in the 90s. Gay was a common insult back then. I'm embarrassed. My younger brother came out not too long after that and I know he's heard me use it before.
And I hear kids at parks using language that's just as wild. I'm still stunned to hear locals here in Hawaii call each other the n word on the daily. Straight up a wtf moment every time i hear it.
Everyone back at school in the 90s used 'gay' as a substitute for something being crap.
Nobody even thought twice about saying it.
Me included.
It does feel super weird now thinking about how commonly we said it.

I doubt it. WB hates hates hates the Snyder Cut and everything involved with it at this point. Probably just another symptom of the dysfunction over there, the movie had languished for years after being greenlit with no signs of ramping up production.
Man, if you just put a seven-syllable line between those two, you'd have a nice little haiku.
To be fair, so do I. So I really can't hold it against them.
That just sticks in the knife, honestly, lol. This thing is borne of some real toxic shit. They didn't want to make it, and the fact that it is, relatively speaking, well liked - well, that's its own set of problems.
They're not going to "restore the snyderverse," and it's not like that many people actually watched the thing, in the grand scheme of things. I just don't think that it plays into the cancellation at all, compared to the fact that it got greenlit years ago and production has apparently been stalled ever since.
Which fucking BLOWS but there you go.

Huh... DC fixed the Batman price back to 4.99 but left Joker at 5.99 and removed the non cardstock cover
Yesterday, DC Comics informed retailers of the following:
Yesterday, DC Comics informed retailers of the following:
- Batman #109 main cover was solicited as $5.99 but should be $4.99. The cover distributed has the correct price. Batman #109 variant covers were solicited with the incorrect price on the covers.
- The Joker main covers are all card stock and priced at $5.99 same with all variants.

The good people out there trying to fix pre 2012 artwork. They should be commended. I'd just bin it.
I find it very difficult to believe that you hate the art in everything you have read from pre-2012.

Not everything. There's a few approved artists. But by in large pre 2012 is all terrible. The colors especially.
God I fucking hate when recolors decide the background should be sky blue

I mean Disney owns 20th Century Fox now, so they own this and Alien outright right? But clearly something happened to pull everything like this at the last moment.
Either they want to wait to roll out the Predator stuff until later. Or Disney asked Marvel to hold off so they could roll it out along with some sort of movie?
New coloring is gross. I've seen this hundreds of times but never noticed that Strong Guy is sticking a finger in Cable's gun.Finished X-Men Genesis. Loved it.
